I guess demonic stuff just doesn't phase me. As the other poster mentioned, the atmosphere of The Shining is pure dread and the unseen force and the descent of Jack into madness is way way scarier to me.
Finished Under the Volcano. A novel about an alcoholic written by an alcoholic. There were flashes of greatness, mostly when he was centered on other characters.
Started Silence by Shūsaku Endō...
I commend your philosophy. Just for posterity I don't think King is some great novelist, hell he writes at a 6th grade level at best he is just very good at spinning a yarn. I've also read way darker stuff than King could ever throw on a page. Guess my take away is if you don't like it, don't...
Naked Gun. Slightly to mildly disappointed. Didnt have the wall to wall jokes I was expecting. Tough to measure up to the original and I appreciate the swing but 6/10
